Orange Ogura Cake

I always like相思蛋糕,my friend ever bought from Batu Pahat many years ago and I remember everyone was so impressed by how soft and cottony the cake was. I wanted to bake this cake so much but as I have fear on handling egg separation method, thus this recipe was shelved even though I had bookmarked the varieties from a lot of bloggers.

My helper has been kept reminding me to bring oranges to office as there are a lot in the fridge. And since this month is the orange event from Ann's Little Thumb Up, I took the courage to try on the orange ogura cake from Ann.

Verdict?I didn't bake the cake successfully, I under baked the cake that caused
the cake to collapse, too ugly to show the whole cake lol. And also the
texture is too moist, definitely need to try it again, need a lot of practises.

I think I can't rush when leaving a comment on the blog otherwise, if touch the wrong button, then all will be gone, hahaha! By the way, what I want to say is that this part of the ogura cake still looked good to me, at least you have the gut to try. I wish I have someone here with me to bake this ogura cake. I tried Sonia's pandan ogura cake b4 & it was soft & moist too. In fact, Sonia herself had once said ogura cake's texture is quite moist compares to chiffon cake. Now, I have to make sure that I click the "Publish" button, very C A R E F U L L Y!

hahahah you are so cute Jessie. Yes the cake texture very very moist, a bit like light cheesecake kind of texture but much more moist. But I think cos I had under baked so cannot judge by my cake on the right taste lol. Jessie, same thoughts as you, I wish I have shifu beside me too but I always bake at wee hours, so cannot find shifu to match my timing hahaha...

Made this yesterday with another recipe (which used milk instead) because it looked so appealing ... was a bit skeptical if I could get the same result at first but it turned out cottony as well!!But too bad it raised too much in the first few minutes then when it fell it turned out very unappealing! Maybe it's because I used plain flour in place of cake flour? Do update your blog if you try it again. I don't think yours turn out too moist. I haven't eaten anything similar that was sold outside but I thought a little moisture would do good because when it dries out it won't taste nice :PI'd love to make it again largely cos of the relatively low sugar content albeit it calls for so many eggs.
